RMweb Premium CloggyDog Posted December 19, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 19, 2018 I have the Bachrus but wish I didn't I'd happily take them off your hands, if they are Series 50 ones. Personally, I find the Bachrus Series 50 ones superb, as they cover gauges N to O (via TT, OO, EM, P4, S) with just the one set. Being a multi-gauge modeller, the easy gauge adjustment is an absolute boon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a multi-gauge modeller, the easy gauge adjustment is an absolute boon. I have found the Bachrus RR components to be excellent in engineering quality and the multi gauge version very handy, the only,issue as I have pointed out before is on some track the roads do not sit far enough down on the rail head to make electrical contact, this is due to the inside chairs on the track used. Not all types of track is effected though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul80 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 That looks just like the one Ten Commandments sell for almost double the price. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted December 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the heads up, it does look like the TC version which I believe is the original Bachmann E-Z roller, not the same now though, and at that price a bit of a bargain.......snapped one up so now I can keep my Bachrus for 7mm.

dasatcopthorne Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I believe these were designed by someone from Germany or nearby. Saw them at their inauguration at Utrecht a few years back. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymsa Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Looks like the Marion-Zeller which I am also considering purchasing... https://www.marion-zeller.de/Scale-H0-0e-00/Roller-Track-Stand-H0::27.html Anyone have any words for or against this brand? thanks Al Just to note there are two different companies called zellor both do the same type of products Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barclay Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Not too hard to make one - all you really need is the ball races, some bits of brass and a chunk of wood. (Excuse the rough edges). Might need some thought to make it multi-gauge though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I have 2 rolling roads here, the Hornby one and the ten commandments one.The Hornby one oob is great for everything except double bogie drive loco's although I have added more rollers. The Ten commandments one is better but it seems to take more power from the controller to get things moving and certain loco's will leap off the rollers when you start them off.

Pete Assume the TC road has no bearings on the rollers, sounds like the rollers are jamming, maybe need some oil? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YesTor Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Well, I finally purchased a KPF-Zeller from a very hospitable gentleman at Warley this year. At 80cm in length I cannot imagine needing one any longer for 00 scale and it came with no less than 10 dollies and all for £65.00, which I have to say after viewing similar items at virtually double the price (and from what I could tell no better build quality), I simply could not resist. And, so far, very happy I am too... As far as I can tell it is this product here... https://kpf-zeller.de/product_info.php?info=p4_rollenpruefstand-spur-h0-maxi--800-mm-und-10-laufkatzen.html cheers Al Edited December 28, 2018 by YesTor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(No longer in production) The two zeller companies are not related. There are some facts I'm aware of but can't post in open forum. One device that they both do is a speed measurement that fits on the rolling road, I wouldn't bother with it as the rollers stick and you get unreliable results. I got this for use with Traincontroller but got very bad results with it. Another item that kpf zellor does( the one that attended Warley) is a track cleaning wagon these are quite good, although you have to get a body for them and I would get replacement felt pads from tesco as they do something very similar to his felt pads and are much cheaper than buying his ones. In fact his ones are from Aldi in Germany but only from southern German Aldi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
